Slumber-sky sand trials

The Trial was a concept originally designed by Fenmuzu a father, a way to create an opportunity out of freedom.A trial that runs to give the slaves a final chance of freedom before they are sent to the Ixiris Moxley for valuation before they're auctioned.
  Anyone bold enough is able to nominate themselves to the trial, if they are unsuccessful they are however auctioned off. If they do emerge victoriously they can nominate the freedom of any slave held in the sands and they will receive the blessing of Kooreg.

Many of the Red Mesian's enjoy watching this as a form of entertainment and the noble elite also find it as a great way to preview the stock before a potential purchase.
The trial consists of 4 stages
Trial of Speed
A sandpit run that is 500ft long - sand across the middle and reeded cover on either embankment. There are three walls that are 25ft high and scalable. There are four archers on either side of the run which have instructions to fire on any target that they may see, their arrows are dipped in Cockatrice venom and any slave that is turned to stone is immediately disqualified.
Trial of the Beast
Pitted against beasts of the Desert - you must fight, tame or yield to the animal you face.
Trial of the Mind
This trial is a riddle - produce something so fragile it can be destroyed by a whisper

Trial of the Sky
To truly be free you must descend the 100ft down to the bottom of the The Titans Well and be the first to bring back mote of the sky held at the bottom of the well.
